We are a Federally Qualified Health Center with a commitment to patient care that revolves around Excellence, Access, Community, and Compassion.
We are currently on a three-year journey to receive recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). This represents an innovative program for improving primary care. In a set of standards that describe clear and specific criteria, the program helps us organize care around patients, working in teams and coordinating and tracking care over time.
The Patient-Centered Medical Home is a health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient's family. Care is facilitated by registries, information technology, health information exchange and other means to assure that patients get the indicated care when and where they need and want it in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner.
We do not turn anyone away based on their inability to pay.
Providing health services to individuals with little or no healthcare insurance: We welcome everyone who needs health services into our centers, and we have well-trained Patient Financial Services staff who support patient access to public health assistance programs.
Serving all patients in a language and manner that best suits their needs: Our communities have large Spanish-speaking populations, and our strong commitment to appropriate bilingual care and educational materials has made us a model of community service.
Developing strategies to minimize the transportation challenges affecting our rural communities: Because we operate community-based centers, our hours and locations support access. We work with local transit companies to optimize routes and provide transportation vouchers. We have also obtained financial support to operate patient vans.
Strategically responding to the changing healthcare environment: In the public sector, fiscal challenges are increasingly limiting our patients' choices. As a vigorous advocate for the health of our patients, we continually assess community needs, pursue new funding opportunities to serve those needs, and implement forward-looking programs that expand our patients' care options.
Building strong partnerships with specialists, hospitals and community services agencies and political representatives: The needs of our patients often extend beyond the services we offer within our centers. Over the years, we have built a strong network of specialist referrals resources.
Establishing policymaking leadership by active participation in various health consortia at the local, regional, state and national level, and by maintaining strong relationships with California's political representatives: To preserve the ability of our patients to access health services in the rapidly changing healthcare environment, we participate in crucial political policymaking opportunities where our experience and knowledge make an important contribution.
Healthy communities are comprised of healthy people. This is the most basic understanding shared by everyone who works at MCHC. Our life's work is to support the health of every individual in our community—regardless of their ability to pay. Using a broad definition of health, we work with community partners to provide care where and when it is needed. Through our participation in the Chronic User System Of Care (CUSOC), we are part of a pioneering effort to collaborate with other community services to help those people in our community who utilize services the most by:
1. Improving their health care by moving from a crisis-based approach to a preventive and management approach, and
2. Reducing the overall community costs of health care and social services.
Working with Ukiah Valley Medical Center, the Mendocino County Jail, Ford Street Project, Mendocino County AIDS/ Viral Hepatits Network and others, MCHC is working to identify and address the needs of people who spend a disproportionate share of time in county jail or the hospital emergency room.
The County Medical Services Program (CMSP) first awarded our collaborative with a planning grant to see whether we could identify a way to reduce county jail bookings and ER visits by sharing data (with patient permission) and providing intensive case management. CMSP liked what they saw and decided to fund an implementation grant to put the plans in motion. While UVMC is the grant administrator, both the planning grant and the implementation grant applications were written by our own Catherine Rada.
The $150,000 grant has a two-year term, and CMSP would like us to serve 50 people the first year and 200 people the second year. The program began in July 2011. Since then, participants have been identified based in part on data gleaned from the planning phase.
The way it works is this: trained personnel at the jail and hospital identify high utilizers who have (or are eligible for) CMSP health coverage. The people are interviewed by case managers from Ford Street or MCAVHN to determine the level of interest they have in changing their situation. If they show a genuine commitment to working with health and social services providers to move from a crisis-based approach to a more stable management approach for their care, they may be considered for the program. Participants sign a waiver so members of the collaborative can work together to serve the participants. While the CMSP grant was funded in July 2011, the collaborative had been working to implement the CUSOC plan since January, providing services at no charge when necessary.
The MCHC point person for the effort is Karen Rizzolo. She noted that in addition to improving health care and reducing costs, another benefit has come from working together to identify a better way to manage high utilizers. "As we've worked through how to manage these patients, we've formed relationships that help non-CUSOC patients. We (collaborative members) have a new way of communicating and we're more aware of the resources available in our community," she said.
Others are noticing, too. Recently, a CUSOC participant had to go to court. A CUSOC case manager accompanied him and explained the program to the judge and public defender, who appreciated the work done for the individual participant and wondered how more people might be helped by a CUSOC-like model. While the grant is for two-years, the impact of CUSOC may be much longer. If CUSOC can prove its efficacy, it may become a model for managing high utilizers elsewhere.
"At first, a lot of resources may go toward stabilizing a patient, but then the costs drop because the patient is not in crisis mode. They're not in jail or going to the ER every month anymore; they are getting care before their condition deteriorates so the care doesn't have to be so intense, and they feel more in control of their lives," Karen said. Karen stressed that CUSOC is not inflicted on patients, but a privilege that patients receive if they demonstrate they really want to make a change.
Our staff is made up of caring people who give to their community and who believe they can make the world a better place. Whether organizing a coat drive so our patients will be better protected from winter's cold or volunteering on a Saturday to provide free dental care during "Give Kids a Smile Day," MCHC's staff is devoted to our mission of care.

Rolex Rankings No. 1 Lydia Ko sits in good position heading into the weekend at the Kingsmill Championship. Ko was bogey-free in the second round on Friday and sits in a tie for third at 8-under 134.
"It was a pretty steady round. The front nine I gave myself a lot of looks for birdies, and a lot of them really slipped by," Ko said after she went nine for nine in greens in regulation on the front nine, where she recorded three birdies.
Ko is feeling comfortable heading into the weekend four strokes behind leader Thompson. "Like I said yesterday, I feel like I'm putting good strokes on it," Ko said. "That's all I can do at the end of the day."
So Yeon Ryu, who trails Ko by only .23 points in the Rolex Rankings, enters the weekend tied for 10th at 5 under, while defending Kingsmill champion Ariya Jutanguarn, who sits .25 points behind Ko, is tied for 25th at 3 under. With a win at Kingsmill, Ko will hold onto the World No. 1 ranking, but there are numerous scenarios that forecast Ryu or Jutanugarn taking over the top spot.
- If Lydia Ko wins, she will remain No. 1
- If either So Yeon Ryu or Ariya Jutanugarn win, they will become No. 1
- If Ko, Ryu and Ariya finish T2, Ko will remain No. 1
- If Ko and Ariya finish T2 AND Ryu finishes 3rd or worse, Ko will remain No. 1
So Yeon Ryu could take over No. 1 if any of the following scenarios (12th or better finish) occur:
- Ryu is T2 with Ariya AND Ko finishes 3rd or worse
- Ryu is 2nd alone AND Ko and Ariya finishes T3 or worse
- Ryu is 3rd alone AND Ko and Ariya finishes T4 or worse
- Ryu is 4th alone AND Ko finishes 6th or worse AND Ariya finishes 5th or worse
- Ryu is 5th alone AND Ko finishes 11th or worse AND Ariya finishes 6th or worse
- Ryu is 6th alone AND Ko is not in top 14 AND Ariya is not in top 6
- Ryu is 7th alone AND Ko is not in top 18 AND Ariya is not in top 7
- Ryu is 8th alone AND Ko is not in top 24 AND Ariya is not in top 8
- Ryu is 9th alone AND Ko is not in top 30 AND Ariya is not in top 9
- Ryu is 10th alone AND Ko is not in top 40 AND Ariya is not in top 10
- Ryu is 11th alone AND Ko is not in top 50 AND Ariya is not in top 11
- Ryu is 12th alone AND Ko is not in the top 61 AND Ariya is not in the top 12
Ariya Jutanugarn could take over No. 1 if any of the following scenarios (7th or better finish) occur:
- Ariya is 2nd alone AND Ko and Ryu finish T3 or worse
- Ariya is 3rd alone AND Ko is not in top 5 AND Ryu is not in top 3
- Ariya is 4th alone AND Ko is not in top 8 AND Ryu is not in top 4
- Ariya is 5th alone AND Ko is not in top 14 AND Ryu is not in top 5
- Ariya is 6th alone AND Ko is not in top 21 AND Ryu is not in top 7
- Ariya is 7th alone AND Ko is not in top 29 AND Ryu is not in top 8
The Kingsmill Championship field featured 21 of the 37 2017 LPGA Tour rookies, the most to tee it up at a tournament this season. After the 36-hole cut, 11 rookies will play through the weekend, with five sitting T25 or better.
Early Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year award favorite Sung Hyun Park (-3, T25) is in good position to notch her eighth straight top-25 finish in as many starts, while Angel Yin (-4, T17) will look to gain some ground in the award standings as she sits 181 points behind Park. Madelene Sagstrom is T17 while Bronte Law (T25) and Nelly Korda (T25) round out the rookies in the top 25. Mariah Stackhouse posted a 3-under 68 on Friday to tie her career-best round and make her first cut as an LPGA member, sitting at T40.
"I feel like I belong out there and I feel like my game is as good as anyone's."
- Seven-year Tour veteran Gerina Piller on seeking her elusive first victory
"I did not start well. I made double bogey on the first hole. After that, walking to second tee I said, Forget it; start again."
- In Gee Chun on her round of 5-under 66; after opening with a double bogey, shemade eight birdies coupled with just one additional bogey
Lexi Thompson's 36-hole score of 12-under 130 ties for the second-lowest 36-hole score in tournament history; Jiyai Shin and Annika Sorenstam both shot 12-under 130s en route to their Kingsmill Championship victories
Thompson's 36-hole score of 130 ties her career low, joining the 2017 Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic and the 2013 Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia
In Gee Chun led the field with eight birdies in the second round, while Thompson has the most for the tournament with 13
Three players hit all 14 greens in regulation on Friday – Laura Gonzalez Escallon, Nelly Korda and Jing Yan
No players hit all 18 greens in regulation on Friday, while Thompson leads the field with 16 of 18 GIRs through two rounds
Brittany Lincicome leads the field in drive distance, averaging 287.8 yards off the tee; she ranks third on Tour for the season in average driving distance at 275.2 yards
Lydia Ko's two-day total of 67-67—134 is four strokes better than her previous Kingsmill low of 70-68—138, which she shot in her first tournament appearance in 2014
With a bogey-free round on Friday, Ko is riding a streak of 30 holes without a bogey going back to her sixth hole on Thursday; Ko and Lizette Salas own the 2017 LPGA record for consecutive holes without a bogey, as both had unblemished scorecards at the Bank of Hope Founders Cup
This week marks In Gee Chun's second start on the River Course; she finished T10 in 2016, a year which saw her recognized as the Rolex Louise Suggs Rookie of the Year
Shanshan Feng shot a second-round 67 on Friday to record a career-best tournament 36-hole score on the River Course of 6-under 136
Danielle Kang shot a 65 on Friday to record her lowest score of 2017; she previously shot a 66 in the final round of the LOTTE Championship
Friday marks the second time in Kang's LPGA career she shot a 65, joining the second round of the 2016 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship; her career-low is a 64, recorded here at Kingsmill during the second round in 2012
Pannarat Thanapolboonyaras' second-round 65 is the lowest round of her LPGA career, besting the 66 she shot in the first round of the 2016 Walmart NW Arkansas Championship
In three other starts this season Austin Ernst has fired a second-round 68; each time she held on to finish in the top eight (Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, Honda LPGA Thailand, Kia Classic)
Of the six past Kingsmill champions in the field, 2014 champion Lizette Salas is the only one to miss the cut
Mariah Stackhouse is the only one of three sponsor invites to survive the cut, while the two Monday qualifiers (Brianna Do and Laura Jansone) missed the cut

Using biomedical and engineering approaches to develop and design high efficacy antibody therapeutics and vaccines
Faculty advisor: Professor Margaret Ackerman
Our projects use high-throughput technologies, molecular approaches, engineering principles and statistical modeling to evaluate immune response during disease states. Using clever genetic engineering and molecular tools we seek to develop robust humoral response by engineering and manipulating antibodies to effectively bind and neutralize pathogenic antigens. We also work to augment immune protection by harnessing innate immunity (body's intrinsic first line of defense) through antibody interaction to clear infections. WISP students who join our group will have the liberty to choose a project of interest within the given research domain. Students will have the opportunity to learn and apply tools in:
- Recombinant-DNA technology to engineer antibodies with high efficacy characteristics.
- Use biochemical approaches to study antibody interactions with other proteins in the immune system, and
- Use statistical analysis to evaluate and draw correlations which will aid in the selection of potential antibody and tools to be used as therapeutic candidates.
Self-Assembly, Dynamics, and Actuation of Multistable Thick-panel Origami Structures
Faculty advisor: Professor Zi Chen
The objective of this research is to identify the mechanical principles governing the self-assembly, dynamics, and actuation of multistable thick-panel origami structures. These principles can then be exploited to guide the design and prototyping of novel origami structures with programmable multistability and stimuli-responsiveness under various loading scenarios. Origami has inspired novel designs at all size scales, from metamaterials to biomedical devices to space structures. Origami structures created with thick panels are more challenging to fold than traditional zero-thickness material, but they also provide new opportunities in practice. Multistability is a unique feature of structures that exhibit shape changes in response to certain external stimuli. Origami multistability has recently garnered attention by the research community, but most studies have mainly focused on the statics of a single-vertex unit and in nearly zero-thickness origami. Gaps remain in our understanding of mechanical self-assembly and dynamics in multistable thick-panel origami.
The goals of this project will be accomplished with a combination of theoretical and experimental efforts by:
- creating a mathematical framework to account for self-assembly and the dynamics of multistable thick-panel origami structures;
- developing thick-panel origami prototypes using a strain-engineered method to control the shape, multistability, and dynamic transition between stable states; and
- fabricating programmable thick-panel origami systems using smart materials that can achieve controllable shape changes and tunable multistability under certain external fields (thermal, electric, etc.).
The Microstructural and Mechanical Properties of Permafrost
Faculty advisor: Professor Ian Baker
The effects of global warming on the permafrost that covers up to 25% of the land in the Northern Hemisphere (permafrost also exists beneath the sea) will be quite profound. Permafrost is a combination of rock, sediment, soil and some organic matter "cemented" together by ice. Permafrost, which can be up to 1500 m deep, contains 1500 GT (1.5 x 1015 kg) of carbon, twice as much as the carbon in the atmosphere and in all vegetation. Each year depending on location and local climate, the top 0.3-4 m of the permafrost, the so-called "active layer", thaws. As temperatures climb, the depth of this active layer increases and if it becomes too deep then some of the below surface layers do not refreeze in winter. There are four major issues as permafrost thaws:
- The carbon locked up in the permafrost will be attacked by microbes leading to the production and release into the atmosphere of carbon dioxide and methane, two potent greenhouses gases - methane is 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide - that will accelerate Global warming;
- Permafrost is impermeable to water: permafrost thawing allows water to percolate through it leading to a loss of surface water, including whole lakes;
- Warmer permafrost is mechanically weaker and existing structures, such as buildings, roads, bridges and pipelines built on permafrost can collapse when the permafrost no longer supports the load – when the permafrost has thawed it cannot support a load but flows under its own weight;
- As coastal permafrost regions thaw, their weakened state along with the lack of sea ice cover allows wave action to erode the coast.
All of these phenomena are currently happening. The latter two problems both affect Northern communities now and are also a challenge to construction in these regions as the temperature increases and the resources in these regions are exploited. Thus the ability to understand the behavior of permafrost as it warms and relate it to its microstructure will enable prediction of the effects of warming and possible mitigation of the effects.
The aim of this project is to relate the mechanical properties of permafrost to its microstructure determined using x-ray microcomputed tomography and scanning electron microscopy.
Tidelines - Understanding Paper Degradation
Faculty advisor: Assistant Research Professor, Rachel Obbard
Tidelines are the brown marks on paper that are caused by water. They represent residual damage at a former wet/dry boundary and can be the result of environmental wetting (i.e. a flooded storage area) or even deliberate cleaning. We are examining the microstructural aspects of tidelines on paper. This project is a follow-on to a year-long collaboration with the Library of Congress and The Metropolitan Museum of Art to do 3D analysis and visualization of tidelines on historical artifacts. We hope that this work will eventually lead to improved treatment and prevention of tidelines in works of art and historical documents.
This project is an opportunity for a student interested in the intersection of art and engineering to gain research experience in materials science. The direction of the intern's project will evolve from our initial conversations and the interests of the selected intern. It might lie in either computational stereology, in physical experiments, and/or in characterization using a scanning electron microscope or Raman spectroscopy.
Requirements include attention to detail, the ability to work independently, and good communication skills. Some type of previous responsible work experience is preferred.
Computational applications in sea ice microstructure
Faculty advisor: Assistant Research Professor, Rachel Obbard
Sea ice, which acts as a permeable barrier between the polar oceans and the boundary layer atmosphere, is a critical part of the polar ecosystem and global environment. Sea ice is actually a complex maze of water ice, brine and air bubbles. The network of brine channels is particularly important, because it spans the thickness of the ice, providing permeability for gas and fluid transport.
We have developed MatLab code to analyze data from micro-computed tomography and produce the critical information about that brine channel network. We seek a student who would like to continue this work, analyzing Arctic sea ice structure and examining new ways to create representational network models.
We are seeking a student with an interest in earth science, environmental science, geochemistry, materials science, and/or applied math, who is likely to want to continue working on similar projects. This would be an ideal position for a student interested in graduate school. Requirements include attention to detail, the ability to work independently, and good communication skills. Some type of previous responsible work experience is preferable. Knowledge of MatLab would be a plus. We offer the potential for coauthorship on scientific papers and possible fieldwork opportunities.
Lab testing heat flow through sea ice
Faculty advisor: Assistant Research Professor, Rachel Obbard
Sea ice is a critical part of the polar ecosystem and global environment, and one that is threatened by climate change. We are particularly interested in how heat flows through sea ice, as it controls how much heat is lost from the ocean to the atmosphere during the cold polar winters.
The WISP student will run experiments in heat flow through sea ice. We have developed a test setup using an ICE-MITT (a large box outfitted with controlled cooling plates to maintain a temperature gradient through a cylindrical sea ice core) to run experiments in the cold room. The student will prepare ice cores (real and manufactured) for the test setup, set up the experiments, program the test conditions into the controller (with assistance) and then check on the tests over a period of several days to a week. This project will involve some work in the cold room (-18C) while handling ice and tools. After each experiment, there will be some data analysis and write-ups required.
We are seeking a student with an interest in earth or environmental science, material science, or thermodynamics. This would be an ideal position for a student who enjoys hands-on work and is interested in helping design experiments. Requirements include ability to focus, attention to detail, the ability to work independently, and good communication skills. High-school level physics is a pre-requisite. Safety training for working in the cold room will be provided. Some experience with computer programming would be helpful, but not required.
The experiment setup and cold-room work will require some longer blocks (~3 hours) on a weekday (days and times flexible) and periodic check-ins through the week. Analysis work can be done at any time. We offer the potential for co-authorship on scientific papers.
Development of Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases
Faculty advisor: Professor Jane Hill
The Hill Lab seeks to push the technological boundaries of what can be achieved diagnostically using human breath. Breath is such a simple medium. We can sample it non-invasively (if you can breathe, we can take a sample!) and envision a system in clinics and hospitals that is portable, easy to use, and inexpensive. We are particularly focused on respiratory infections – viral, bacterial, and fungal – and our work over the past few years shows great promise, including for tuberculosis, flu, and MRSA. We are also deeply interested in using our approach to determine antibiotic resistance profiles and thus guide treatment decisions even more precisely. The student project would involve working on one of our cool topics where studies may include lab work and/or field work at a clinic (locally, regionally, internationally) with a group of passionate others who are seeking to transform diagnostic medicine. I am seeking a highly motivated cadre of students who will learn about what we do and then help us push the boundaries of science and engineering in order to improve the quality of life for humans and animals.
Determine the butanol tolerance of Clostridium thermocellum and identify mutants with higher butanol tolerance
Faculty advisor: Professor Lee Lynd
Lab mentor: Liang Tian (Postdoc)
Butanol is a biofuel that can be made from cellulose. Clostridium thermocellum is an anaerobic, thermophilic bacterium which is capable of directly converting cellulosic substrates (corn stover, switchgrass, wood chips, etc.) to ethanol and other chemicals. However, C. thermocellum cannot natively produce butanol. We are planning to introduce several heterologous genes that encode enzymes in the butanol production pathway. However, since butanol is somewhat toxic, we first need to determine the butanol tolerance of C. thermocellum and potentially develop improved strains that can tolerate higher levels of butanol. We plan to improve tolerance using a continuous culture system.
Improving the transformation efficiency of Clostridium thermocellum by optimizing competent cell preparation and handling methods
Faculty advisor: Professor Lee Lynd
Grad student mentor: Shuen Hon (Ph.D. student)
Clostridium thermocellum is a bacterium that is studied by the Lynd research group as a candidate organism for producing biofuels such as ethanol from cellulosic biomass. These efforts heavily involve genetically engineering C. thermocellum to not only better understand its metabolism but also involve introducing and expressing foreign genes to improve ethanol production.
One impediment to our research workflow is the relatively poor transformation efficiency of C. thermocellum (the efficiency by which the bacteria takes up foreign DNA). Improving the transformation efficiency of C. thermocellum will enable the research group to broaden the scope of our genetic engineering efforts. While there are techniques that have been used to successfully improve transformation efficiency in other microorganisms, these techniques have not been extensively tested on C. thermocellum.
The student will work under the supervision of a senior graduate student to test the effects of various culture conditions and cell treatment methods on C. thermocellum competent cells, to determine a method or combination of methods that will significantly improve transformation efficiency. The student will acquire skills in microbiology and genetics, such as culturing microorganisms both in aerobic and anaerobic conditions and DNA purification and transformation.
Nanoparticle Synthesis and Characterization for Biomedical Imaging
Faculty advisor: Geoffrey Luke
Lab mentors: Austin van Namen and Sidhartha Jandhyala
We have developed a new type of nanoparticle which can undergo a liquid-to-gas phase transition when exposed to a laser. We are currently exploiting this nanoparticle for ultrasound imaging and drug delivery. We are working to optimize the nanoparticle in a variety of ways, including drug loading, stability, triggering sensitivity, size, and biocompatibility. We are looking for 2 first-year students to assist in the synthesis and optimization of these particles. Tasks will include:
- performing wet chemistry synthesis of the particles;
- characterization of the particles through UV-Vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and transmission electron microscopy; and
- development of gelatin imaging phantoms to test the particles.

The overall conference evaluation is a special tool that enables you to hear the voice of your consumer, and gives you an opportunity to plan your next event to best meet their needs and expectations.
Are You Listening?
An overall conference evaluation is the perfect tool to measure the satisfaction of your attendees and get their feedback as to how the meeting might be improved in coming years. If you are not taking advantage of this opportunity, you may want to reconsider. Feedback from participants is the best resource for planning future events and meetings. A well thought out overall evaluation will uncover a treasure trove of ideas, suggestions and constructive criticism (That's right, not everyone will love every part of your conference!) covering all angles of your meeting.
Evaluation Categories
Most overall conference evaluations are broken up into several categories regarding different aspects of your meeting or conference. This keeps the evaluation interesting, and breaks it up into smaller, less daunting sections. As with session evaluations, close-ended questions with a likert rating scale will return consistent, actionable data for determining what worked and what did not work. Some often used categories are:
Overall - questions regarding expectations, value, plans to attend next year, location, etc.
Conference Services - registration, meals, accommodations, meeting room comfort, helpfulness of staff, etc.
Content & Delivery - mix of session topics, relevance of topics, overall quality of speakers and keynotes, etc.
Decision to Attend - what marketing or communication influenced your decision to attend (very helpful in targeting marketing for next year).
Demographic Information - type of organization, role, ethnicity, gender, years experience, etc.
Future Meeting/Conference Preferences - suggestions for locations, speakers, and topics for future meetings.
Open-Ended Questions
Most overall conference evaluations will have several open-ended items as well as a section for the attendee to give any additional comments they may have regarding the meeting. It is important to have a place where attendees can share their ideas and experiences in their own words. These comments, or responses to questions such as "what did you like most about this event?" or "what did you like least about this event?" will really highlight the areas that need improvement as well as the areas that are working well. Listening to your consumer and making changes based on their input...it's a good thing!
What to do With All This Useful Data?
Plan to share and communicate the tabulated results and comments from your overall evaluation with key stakeholders, including program staff, speakers/presenters, and even participants. By sharing the ratings and sentiments with participants, you show that their voice is important and encourage response on future evaluations. This great data you have collected will help make your next meeting or conference even better!
For a more in-depth look at the conference evaluation process, plus several actual evaluation form samples, download our free Conference Evaluation Planning Guide. This helpful guidebook will get you started creating a unique, useful data collection tool for your next meeting, workshop or conference.

If he says that he's, ask for some sort of proof so you already know this true. If it is advisable have your automobile towed, search for extra details in the user's guide. Some cares should all the time be toward backwards whereas other absolutely must be mounted onto a flat bed. Let the tow truck driver know upfront to make sure he has the right tools.

If someone gave you £200 just before Christmas, what would you do with it? If you're a pensioner, the Government believes you would spend it on heating your home. We saw this again today in the Chancellor's Pre-Budget Report, which included: "the continuation of Winter Fuel Payments of £200 for households with someone aged 60 or over, rising to £300 for households with someone aged 80 or over, for the duration of this Parliament." Winter Fuel Payments are the Government's response to the continuing problem of Wintertime death and illness among older people. According to Help the Aged, last Winter, more than 25,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of cold related illnesses.
This is shocking, and is the reason for the enormous campaign from charities and NGOs, which resulted in Winter Fuel Payments. However, there's a problem here. When the payments arrive, many older people won't spend it on heating. Some older people simply don't need the extra help and treat the Payment as an excuse for indulging in a few luxuries. But even those who do suffer from the cold will sometimes opt to spend the money on gifts for the grandchildren, an extra bottle of sherry for Boxing Day, or whatever else they choose. There's research which elaborates the problem. Professor Ian Walker of the economics department at Warwick University published a paper entitled "Cold Comfort: The Effect of Winter Fuel Payments". You can access the briefing here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/about/warwickmagazine08/coldcomfort/
Professor Walker's research found that that the most optimistic average increase in pensioner fuel spending as a result of receiving the Winter Fuel Allowances, was only between £3 to £6 of the additional £100 – £300. What does this mean? Well, as difficult as this might be for campaigners who pressed for the Winter Fuel Allowance, it is actually too blunt a tool for the job. Human behaviour is complex, and some older people might suffer the cold in order to save money on what they believe is more valuable or important. And of course, older people won't just get cold sitting in their homes. How do you ensure people wrap up? Is a Winter Clothing Allowance required? As Professor Walker has argued, his research suggests that whether fuel spending matters for older people depends on whether cold homes affect health. The challenge of "excess deaths" that occurs each winter remains a major policy challenge. What is needed is more research into what causes cold-related illness or death, and more innovative policies for persuading older people to put the heating on.

Buying Books Just Got Harder
Truth: I'm a whore when it comes to books. I Just love 'em. I love the way the feel in my hands, I love the way they smell and I love how I can just lie down with a good one and, somehow, miraculously, that makes a good day. We've been hearing for a while how books were going to die and be replaced by the Internet but I don't see that happening anytime soon. You can't hold it (no a Kindle isn't the same), there's no smell (except warm plastic I guess) and there's no satisfaction reading a computer all day (in fact, it's bad for your eyes).
I have a special leaning towards hard c0ver books though. Paperback books are good for a trip, I guess (for example a long flight or train ride). But if you want to keep that book, which I always do, then a hard cover book is the way to go. The great thing about hard cover books is that they can be purchased online through Amazon for a fraction of the cover price. There's a reason Amazon is on top of the online book selling market and it's not because they rape their customers (are you listening RIAA?)
It used to be that all I had to worry about when buying a book was ensuring it was the hard cover edition. I never cared about edition versions (first, second, yada-yada-yada) or anything but now I have to worry about Large Print Editions (LPE). LPE books are irritating.
Obviously, the print is HUGE. I'm sure they're made specifically for sight challenged (blind) people but to us who can see it's a little disconcerting reading text so big. Each page can only contain around 2.5 paragraphs of text. This makes the books big. Like really BIG. It's irritating holding a normal novel and having so many pages to thumb through.
Apparently, I've been living under a rock all my life because I hadn't been exposed to LPE books before .
Recently, I bought a book on Amazon which I thought was going to be a nice little addition to my library. Just a guilty pleasure book but one I wanted. I was a good little consumer, making sure it was hard cover, it was being sent from a reputable seller, and that it was in English (don't ask).
Then it arrives and I'm just bummed. Not because of the book, per se, but because now I have to worry about the format of the text when I'm buying a book.
So as I said, buying a book just got harder. A little, sure, but it's now one more thing.

For the past two months I have been on a make up spending ban and it has given me the chance to really give some love to my current collection of make up, especially my eyeshadows. When I get a new palette I usually get a tad obsessed with it and forget everything else, and for weeks I will use that palette alone and I don't even get particularly experimental with the looks either.
I bought the Too Faced Natural Love palette on one of my ebay sprees that actually prompted me to go on the make up spending ban as I was getting a bit addicted to the bargains. My favourite eye look for a night out is a smoky eye, and I don't mean just a standard dark smoky using greys and blacks. I like to try it with browns, purples, any shade that can be built up really so I loved that this palette looked like it had multiple smoky opportunities.
I had very mixed feelings about this palette and I have to say I'm glad I didn't buy it at the full price of £52 but instead got it for a bargain at £11. If you are a matte fan this is definitely not the palette for you but I love a bit of shimmer to my look and I liked that it had a wide range of shades in one place so you don't have to carry multiple palettes with you. The darker shades have great pigmentation and all the colours blend easily for a smooth look.
There are 30 shades in this palette, with 17 being brand new and 13 being pre-released shades. With so many shades this palette would work for any skin tone but with the lighter shades you need to spend a while layering up the shade as the pigmentation is not as strong in them. I would advise using a wet brush for the lighter shades and if you want a stronger metallic look with the shimmer.
I would say this palette is perfect for a beginner to make up or for practising new looks as some of the shades are quite crumbly and some are dry. If you are a make up artist or just really skilled in that area I would not recommend this palette as there's more negatives than positives from your perspective. I think this palette is overpriced but it has not put me off the Too Faced range as I have other items from them that I highly rate like the Love Light Highlighter.
I swatched the shades top to bottom in each column from left to right but I was unable to get a good swatch of the lightest shade Heaven. The first photo shows swatches of Lace Teddy to Kittens, followed by Cutie Patootie to Tickle Me, then Honey Pot to Spoiled, finishing with Make Up & Chilled to Stiletto.
As with all my August posts there is a giveaway to enter, today's is for the Kat Von D and Too Faced Mascara Liner Duo. The set contains a miniature of the Kat Von D Tattoo Eye Liner and Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara. You have one month to enter, the giveaway is international and the winner will be announced on Twitter and Facebook.
They are very pretty colours. I am a bit like that and always like to use my newer things until I get totally fed up of them.
This looks like a good palette, i really like the choice of colors in it too
I've tried the Too Faced melted lipsticks before and loved them.
I love Kat Von D products especially the lipstick and liquid lip products
I absolutely love the Nudie colours and the Makeup and Chill. Those would make an awesome smokey eye. I'll need to check out more of Kat Von D's makeup for sure.
I haven't tried any Too Faced or Kat Von D products. They look beautiful.
I've never tried any Kat Von D products before! 🙁
I love the colors, especially because I can see a lot of purpley shades in there (and that is my favorite color). You really got it for a bargain at only £11! I haven't tried the Too Faced palettes yet but I have a mascara from them which I love to bits so I can imagine the quality is the same.
I love all the colors in this palette, it suits my taste. Lucky winner too!
Good for you on the bargain! Just make sure the products are the actual products when purchasing on EBAY as there's a few scammers out there! Once left me with a blistered eyelid!
OK now that palette is right up my street, I love the natural colours I may just have to treat myself to one thank you!
Oh I LOVE the look of that palette! I think I would use a lot of those colours and it's such a bargain!
Yay just entered the giveaway. Shame the palette was a bit overpriced although it is great that you got it for a cheaper price!
Beautiful colours. I especially like the Kitten shade… The winner will be a happy one.
All the colours I love are in here. I especially like the purples.
I've been really intrigued about this palette, it seems to have a good variety of neutral shades. I only have one Too Faced palette but I wasn't that impressed with the pigmentation on the one that I've bought so definitely want to go see it in person before caving!
That's a shame that the palette isn't the best, it's a good thing you didn't pay the full price. I am trying to not buy any new makeup for most of the year as I just have way too much stuff, wish me luck x
It's a bit too expensive for us but we like the colour ways in the palette and the packaging. Good luck with the giveaway!
Oh that is such a pretty palette – I love Too Faced products
Such a gorgeous looking palette! I'd definitely wear all of these shades. I've never tried any two faces products though!
I love the deign of the packaging firstly it's great. The range of colours included here too are lovely. I do love the brown tones and those with shimmer.
What gorgeous colours and I love the names, super cute!
What a lovely palette, I need to try more of too faced makeup up thats for sure
This looks lovely. I think I would wear all of these with the exception of kittens but with that name so i'd have to keep it in the set
I love Two Faces products especially this palette because it has all of my favourite colours. I like the browns more on a night out
Out of my price range unfortunately but I've heard great things and so would love to try them! Thanks for the chance!
this looks fab ! ive never tried any of these products but i love the colors in the palette x
That was definitely a good bargain at £11 – The original price does seem a little steep. I love how you have done all the little squares but hate to think how long they took you!
I have been look at this palette so long. Every time I go into Ulta I have to look at the display they never have any in store.
The palette looks amazing – I love those shades. Great giveaway 🙂
Oh, wow! This palette is absolutely stunning. My mum keeps asking what I want for my birthday in October and I'm super tempted to mention this …
Louise x
These shades are absolutely GORGEOUS!! I love Too Faced makeup and have done for years xxx

Identity theft, jobs and government
In the indian internet sector, identity theft of domain investors is rampant, especially if domain investors do not have a job. Large companies like google, tata are allegedly involved in large scale bribery of the extremely corrupt indian intelligence and security agencies who make completely fake allegations without any proof against the domain investor, and hysterically repeat their lies for more than 7 years like parrots owned by google, tata as these companies wish to acquire talent and technology cheaply.
The indian government refuses to investigate the wastage of indian tax payer money by corrupt dishonest top indian intelligence and security agency employees . Find about more about the greatest financial fraud in India in the last few decades, which the cowardly mainstream media in india refuses to talk about at Identity theft, Jobs, government.
The financial fraud, identity theft of domain investors, small business owners by indian government employees is the real reason for negative job growth in India.
Soil quality testing, usage
Since google, tata are ruthless, shameless in exploiting harmless indian female domain investors to supply goan SEX workers, get money, job bribes for top NTRO,CBI, R&AW,security agency employees, the domain investors are forced to diversify in other sectors. As the section 420 fraud google, tata employees are ruthless in filing fake cases, many domain investors are forced to focus on gardening, keeping pets as the interaction with other human beings is less. However for plants to grow well, the soil should be fertile. So it is important to develop a proper system of soil quality testing, usage, so that the rights plants can be grown in the soil. Only a few plants can be grown in soil which is not very fertile and the crops, seeds should be selected accordingly.
Suppliers of soil quality testing units can contact, send their offers by email to firstname.lastname@example.com

Not long ago, a United Nations agency conducted research in Latin America and claimed to have found effective ways to control malaria without the use of DDT. But according to expert analysis by two leading malaria researchers, there were no statistically significant reductions in malaria in demonstration areas that spanned Mexico and seven Central American nations. The researchers noted that claims of malaria reduction without DDT are being used to justify the UN's plan to stop production of the life-saving chemical by 2017, and said its elimination could have significant consequences for millions of those living in countries struggling with this terrible mosquito-borne disease.

While the Republican Party touts coal as America's cheap energy resource what are the other aspects of coal mining?
Eastern Kentucky has long been the coal capital of the United States. This region of the Commonwealth relies on the jobs that coal mining generates to survive. Some miners, working in the cramped and dangerous mines earn up to $75,000 annually and would find it impossible to survive without coal. But what else does coal generate?
To put it bluntly coal mining destroys habitat and water purity and creates vast wastelands. "Mountaintop removal" is often used to access coal deposits. In this process the actual top of a mountain is removed and dumped into nearby valleys which blocks waterways and deposits huge volumes of toxic materials into the water systems. Such toxics include manganese, aluminum and other carcinogens which seep into the ground water, polluting wells and drinking water. In Eastern Kentucky's coal region the cancer rates are skyrocketing.
Water collected from streams is often brown, black, orange or red in color and the water itself is lifeless. Tap water often appears clear but harbors dangerous cancer causing materials.
Perhaps one of the most insidious acts of Kentucky Republican Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul was to attempt to amend the Clean Water Act to limit the water protections in the Act to just 59% of the streams and wetlands of the United States. Their actions were motivated to hinder the EPAs efforts to protect the public from the effects of Mountaintop Removal. Luckily their amendments failed to garner sufficient votes to pass. This is reminiscent to George W. Bush's attempts to remove arsenic and mercury from the list of toxic elements prohibited in streams and drinking water.
While Eastern Kentucky suffers even with active coal mining, having lost 6,000 coal mine jobs in recent years due to the development of alternative energy and increased environmental restrictions, elected officials and others need to think outside the mine to develop alternative employment for the region. Perhaps by transitioning these people into the alternative and sustainable fuels arena and creating new employment in agriculture and other areas of land use the region can continue to grow and maintain itself.
Luckily Kentucky's Governor Steve Beshear and Republican Congressman Harold Rogers, in a bipartisan effort, have taken actions to transform the poverty stricken region into a self sustaining and growing environment with the formation of a 40-person task force made up of industry, business and education representatives to develop a strategy to effectively attack the problem on a multi-level approach. As the Governor stated, "The people of Appalachia must step up and take responsibility for their own future" to "place the region at the center of the world's economy in ways it's never been before." Rogers reiterated that the solutions to Eastern Kentucky's problems "must come from within" and not from the government.
Diversified employment must be created to remove this regions reliance on coal and to create a more hospitable environment for the people of Kentucky.

All new writers, as well as many, if not most, old ones desire to have their books reviewed in other publications so that their books become well known around the world. However, writers desire that the reviews be fair, concise, and reflect a true reading of the book.
A few months ago I wrote a piece about a journal that requested a copy of two of my books having to do with the folklore of water. The reviews were written by a woman who has also written a few books but decided that the manner in which I footnoted my sources was reprehensible to her. She also decided to take issues with one of the books that, should she have actually read it, she would have known better.
This has occurred yet again. I submitted a copy of my book, Creatures in the Mist to Rambles. This is an online journal which reviews many books from all genres?including folklore and mythology. I had always enjoyed the reviews as well as the other articles in Rambles and when the editor gave an affirmative to send the book in for review I advised him in the letter (written on April 26, 2007) that went with it that the copy was a review copy, which contained some printing errors. These errors were corrected prior to the book becoming available for distribution. However, the reviewer obviously decided that she didn?t really wish to read a book on the folklore of mythical creatures as she gave scant information about it in her December 8, 2007 review. While she graciously said that my ?expertise and sincerity are obvious? she spent the majority of her time complaining about the printing errors which had been explained.
She wrote:
?I don't generally comment on a book's format, but unfortunately the printing of this book (not an advanced reader's copy but a commercial paperback) omitted all hyphens, leaving an open space at the end of a line where a word would generally be hyphenated. It may sound like a small matter, but if you check out any book in which margins are justified, you'll quickly see that the hyphen gets used frequently. The space is distracting and indeed is a flaw both the author and publisher, Algora (which advertises itself as an academic press), should have corrected before the manuscript went to press. Sadly, despite the no doubt fascinating content of this work, the printing error gives it a cheap appearance.?
Well I will give her the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps the editor did not forward the letter that accompanied the book where it was plainly stated that, in fact, the book was a first run review copy which contained printing errors. I suppose though that she had to write something to come up with her word quota so rather than write something that showed she had little interest or understanding in the material, she wrote about that which would fill space?the ?cheap appearance? that was created by leaving hypens out of the text.
Over the years I have had several people request review copies of my books and I usually understand that most of the time the books will never be reviewed in print. What reviewers need to understand is that the author has put months of work into the book and has invested a substantial amount of money in the project as well completing research, obtaining photographs and buying reference materials. Also, the author and or the publisher invests a certain amount of money (sometimes substantial amounts) in providing free copies of these books to potential reviewers.
To have ones book belittled because of printing errors in a review copy or because the reviewer didn?t like the way footnotes were provided or, in one case, a gentleman in another country who complained that locals should have written the book rather than ?foreigners on holiday? speaks more about the reviewer than it does about the book.
This said, I will add that I will no longer be providing review copies of my work. Should a legitimate reviewer truly wish to obtain one the best way to go is request one from the publisher or, heavens forbid, buy a copy.

A Measure of Success
Writers, except for those few who have hit a market with a good product at a good time, are similar to the starving artist who works tirelessly at his craft. Working tirelessly but reaping little or no financial rewards. Those few lucky souls, mostly authors of popular novels, become icons for the rest of us desiring to have their works read and, hopefully purchased by an appreciative audience.
But success can, and should, be measured in other ways. There are thousands of excellent books out there, and millions more not even written as yet, that should be read?that deserve to be read. And perhaps that is the true measure of success. I am not immune to these desires of success either. I have written 14 books, which I knew would only fit in a niche market. How many people, I asked myself, are interested enough in folklore and mythology and the traditions of ancient societies to actually search out my titles and to plop down their hard earned cash for them? I am rarely able to buy my own works from my major publisher even with the author discount! In an effort to gain control over my own work and to set a fairer price I have begun to produce books under my own imprint. But I have digressed. What about ?success??
After some mental torment and feeling as if it would be easier to simply stop writing, I came to the realization that, in fact, I am successful. My works are read around the world in a variety of cultures by a variety of people. My articles on Authors Den have been copied and republished on the internet, in a huge variety of venues, including mainstream and educational as well as ?alternative? sites. In addition, my articles have been read by individuals working at the Department of Defense, the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, Oxford University, and dozens of other universities and school districts. Individuals around the world are also readers, from Croatia to London, and from South Africa to Iran, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Barbados, Sweden and Brazil, Canada, Mexico, the Russian Federation, France, Gibraltar, Israel and Greece. My books sell well to libraries, both university and public. My books can be found at Harvard, Cornell, the Princeton Theological Seminary, the UC system, University of Pittsburgh, University of Ottawa, the University of Otago in New Zealand and such institutions as the Smithsonian, as well as 477 other libraries around the world. I have had articles appear in scholarly journals such as the Living Spring Journal in England and Magister Botanicus in Germany. Are these measures of success even though my royalties are rarely enough to buy a nice dinner? Yes!
A writer writes to be read. While a bit of financial success would always be welcome, the fact is I have done what I set out to do. I am read and my writings have contributed to discussion and further research. So in those times of doubt I can at least say that my work has been validated and that it is, at last, worthwhile.

"We got the disk yesterday and I can't even begin to tell you how good our pictures are. We're genuinely really impressed.
David Jacobs - Family Session
"It was a true pleasure to work with Lydia. She is professional, friendly and discrete and managed to capture some truly special and memorable moments of our big day."
Miet Saelens - Wedding Photography
"We just finished looking through the photos for the sixth or seventh time...they are amazing. Seriously, we can't thank you enough - they are above and beyond what we could have imagined or hoped for! Thanks again for everything - you've really created memories that will last a lifetime for us."
Jordan Benchich - Couples Session
"I put a few of the photos on our FB account so friends and family could see. The response was unbelievable. Even brought a couple of family members to tears. Thanks for doing such a great job capturing our family."
Julie Smith - Family Session
"BRAVO Lydia, you've done the impossible! You've made a very critical client, happy! These are great and I really love shots from each scene. For our purposes, it's really cool to have some of the Arabic writing in the background on the signs, illustrating the middle east is where we were."
Kelley Van Der Meer - Family Session
"Lydia is a wonderful photographer. She did a family series for me and managed to capture everyone's personality on 'film'. Her work is natural and spontaneous. She is both professional and flexible. Lydia has given me a wonderful collection of photographs that I will be able to enjoy now and forever. I would not hesitate in recommending her to anyone."
Natascha Asselstine - Family Session
"Lydia took photos of my family and I at the Old Souq in Qatar - the results were fabulous. Lydia took the time to get to know all of us and so was able to capture our personalities on 'film' to great effect and with striking and exotic backdrops - we were comfortable with Lydia and as a result looked 'natural' which is what we wanted. I would recommend Lydia to everyone."
Sarah May - Family Session
"I first hired Lydia to take pregnancy photos during my second pregnancy. We also hired her to shoot our newborn from 2 weeks through 1 year of life amounting to an almost monthly shoot for a year. Why? She is simply that talented. Her photos really capture the essence of the person she is shooting. She likes using natural light and capturing the moment. I really wanted someone with an artist's eye not a photographer that does only portraits that are staged. Lydia is a true artist. Not to mention she was great with our infant and our son. We had many 8x10 photos framed which now adorn our stairwell. Would highly recommend her to anyone!"
Rajka Galbraith - Family Session
"Lydia has a unique ability to capture a photograph as if she wasn't there. This means her family photographs look spontaneous and relaxed, not an easy task when you are having to capture kids. We have a number of her photographs in our home that she has taken of our family over the years. Everyone who comes into our home comments on them and asks who the photographer is. She has an amazing gift, is extremely professional and very passionate about what she does. Her photographs not only capture a moment in time, but leave a lasting memory on our walls and serve as pieces of artwork in our home. If you want the best in the business then I would look no further than Lydia Shaw Photography."
Karen Philps - Kids' Session
"We are soooo happy with the boys' pictures. Words cannot convey how thankful we are. The little moments in some of those photos are priceless, and your camera and lens gave those moments that we will treasure forever."
Paula Al Nuaimi
